New York-based JetBlue wrote in a BlueTales blog post Thursday that the company experienced network issues because of a Verizon data center power outage that impacted customer support systems, including jetblue.com, mobile apps, a toll-free phone number, and check-in and airport counter/gate systems.

In response to a CRN request for more information, a JetBlue spokesperson wrote: "Flights are still departing at this time but customers traveling may experience delays or cancelations. Customers traveling today will receive current flight status information from crewmembers in our airports."

A Verizon spokesperson also responded to the CRN request with a statement: "On Thursday morning at 11:37 am ET, a Verizon data center experienced a power outage that impacted JetBlue's operations. JetBlue's systems are now being restored. Our engineering team has been working to restore service quickly, and power has been restored to the data center."

Both spokespeople pointed to the JetBlue blog post for further information.

JetBlue in November signed a new five-year agreement expanding its relationship with Verizon. That agreement, originally signed in 2009, provides Verizon's core technologies -- including enterprise-class cloud, managed security, advanced communications, mobility networks and professional services -- to JetBlue.

Not mentioned in the statement the two companies signed in November was whether the agreement provided JetBlue with continued access to Verizon's data centers.
